Question

item 8 (6 points) from the description, match the networking mode for a vnic. dhcp server on the physical lan supplies the vnic with its own ip address dg, sm; vm communicates directly with other network devices using its vnic ip address and the host machines physical nic hosts hypervisor acts as a dhcp server; the vnic obtains its ip address dg, sm from the host; vm communicates with other network devices through the host machines ip address and physical nic hosts hypervisor acts as a dhcp server; the vnic obtains its ip address dg, sm from the host; vm can only communicate with the host and other vms on the host

Explanation:

• Bridged Mode: In this mode, the vNIC is directly connected to the physical LAN. The DHCP server on the physical LAN supplies the vNIC with its own IP address. The VM can communicate directly with other network devices using its vNIC IP address and the host machine's physical NIC.
• NAT Mode: Here, the host's hypervisor acts as a DHCP server. The vNIC gets its IP address (including default gateway - DG and subnet mask - SM) from the host. The VM communicates with other network devices through the host machine's IP address and physical NIC. It is a form of network address translation where the host's IP is used for external communication.
• Host - only Mode: The host's hypervisor acts as a DHCP server. The vNIC obtains its IP address (DG, SM) from the host. But in this mode, the VM can only communicate with the host and other VMs on the host. There is no direct access to external network devices outside the host - VM local network.

Answer:

1. Bridged Mode
2. NAT Mode
3. Host - only Mode
